"This year's line-up is once again testament to the musicians who generously donate their time, talent and unending commitment to protect the rights of children in the most horrendous circumstances.

"Words can't really convey how grateful we are to them, to O2 and to our supporters around the UK and who make this such a special time for War Child."
